Concerning Stories.

Concerning Stories.
The story on the second page, "Hel-
en- Melcher's Journal" was written by
that most charming of story tellers,
Edward Everett Hale, and is COM
mended to the attention of more
thoughtful readers who generally skip
the story. And this reminds us that
just about the saddest duty that de-
wolves upon the country editor is the
selection of a story for his paper. Let
few weeks pass without the appear
ance of a story and the cry for more of
this sort of stuff comes in from sub
scribers. If they are sometimes a
trifie light, it is because the supply of
good stories is not equal to the de-
mand.

Death in the Mountains.

Death in the Mountains.
Moses w. Hill of Littleton, N. H., a
waiter at the Twin mountain house,
met with terrible death Sunday. He
was out for a stroll and attempted the
ascent of boulder 25 feet high, known
as Split Rock. He had succeeded in
climbing up Is feet when he took hold
of a projecting spur to steady and
raise himself, but Immediately after he
grasped it, it gave way and precipitat-
ed him backwards down on to large
smooth surfaced rock which lay ten
feet below, inclined at an angle of 25
degrees. The broken rock came down
and struck the young man in the lower
part of the abdomen. The blow crush
ed his bowels in and burst them, and a
sharp point of the rock penetrated al
most entirely through his body. The
rock which struck him weighed fully
800 pounds, and was as ugly looking a
stone as one could imagine. The stone
bounded from the young man and the
rock on which he was lying to the
ground six feet below, causing Hill
also to fall to the ground. NOtwith-
standing his frightful condition he
managed to crawl few feet from
where he fell, and to where he was
found an hour after. He died the next
morning. Hill was 10 years old, a
bright scholar who was educating him
self, working as a waiter at the Twin
mountain house in summer. He was
the only son of a widowed mother.

GA Show Train"

"a snow Train"
Is what the Boston papers call the
completed train of new cars from the
Canadians Pacific railroad that passed
through here for the first time Mon
day afternoon. Individual cars had
passed through here before but this
was the first trip of the completed
train and a very attractive looking
train it is, comprising palace car, a
first-class car, a smoker and second
class car combined, and a combination
baggage, express and mail car. With
their redwood exteriors it would be
difficult to distinguish one car from
another were it not that all are prop
erly labeled. There are no distinc-
tions made between the first and sec
ond class on this road, but the first
class coaches are elegant affairs with
their high backed seats that make it
easier to ride to Boston than to stay at
home.

Nothing Like 1t.
The grand street parade of the Unit
ed Bafnum and London Shows will
take place here on Thursday, July %,
at o'clock in the morning, to be fol-
lowed by two performances in the
mammoth tents. Never before in the
history of amusements in this or any
other country has there been so i'm
mense and stupendous a show as the
one that Barnum will present on that
day. The capital of the concern has
been increased to 81, 100000 and every
one of the many departments have
been largely added to, making the
daily expense over $1,000. There will
be three circus companies performing
in three big rings, each As feet in di-
ameter, and upon an elevated stage 60
hippodrome, with its glorious races, as
only Barnum knows how to do it; the
museum of living curiOsities, with ia
nous giants, dwarfs, etc. the two
immense double menagerles, the ilte-
like reproduction of dear old Jumbu,
with the ivory bone articulated skele-
ton Alice, JumbO's widow the won
derful hairy family from Burmah, King
Theebaw's mascots; Capt. Paul Boy
toms aquatic performances in n spe-
cially constructed lake of clear water,
the flying gymnasium and other curl
Gus features; besides other novelties,
wonders and curiosities collected after
three years of hard labor by agents in
all parts of the world, and enlisting
the service of nearly every United
States consul in those places. 1t will
certainly be a grand exhibition, and
deserves the hearty support of all
classes.

A Narrow Escape.

A Narrow Escape.
George III. Hale met with a serious
accident and narrow escape while
working on the new machine shops at
the scale works Thursday. One of the
men in an upper story was driving in
a timber when the I2-pound iron head
of his mallet slipped off and. struck
Hale in the head just over the right
eye fracturing what is known as the
external tablet of the skull and also
bruising the face just below the eye.
He is getting along all right but it was
pretty close call. The sledge also
struck Phineas Danforth who stood
clsOe by, hitting him in the face with
considerable force, causing dizzy sen
satiOns at times during the afternoon.

gets his business here squared up. st.

Sudden Death.

John B. Aver died very suddenly
Friday night. He had been about his
business during the day as usual. Mrs.
Aver, who frequently drove to ST..
Johnsbury to dispose of the produce of
the farm, had been absent during the
day on one of these trips. Returning
late in the evening Mr.. Aver put up
the horse remarking to his wife that
she had been very kind TO take the
trip in his stead. He retired between
10 and ii but shortly after got up and
went to the door complaining of not
feeling well and saying,"I am going
this time," or something to that effect.
He was taken with violent fit of
choking and died in few moments.
Mr.. Aver was native of st. Johns
bury Centre and was a WORTHY citizen.
For many years he has not been we'll
but has been able to do more or less
about his farm. 1t is supposed that
death was caused by a heart trouble.
He leaves a widow and two little
daughters. Funeral services were
hold Sunday and were largely attend
ed, Rev. Mr.. Dickinson officiating.

A Successful Service.

n SuCCcSS1uA SCItACCs
ConcOne's mass was rendered by the
North church choir Sunday evening
before a large audience. The singing
was prefaced with an explanatory talk
by the pastor, who described in a gen.
eral way the manner of celebrating
mass in the catholic church, the sig
nificance of the service to the catholic
and the good that may be got from it
by all. Various portions of the words
rs sung were read during the service
which altogether lasted for about an
hour. The choir was at its best, Mrs.
Humphrey, Mrs. Hazen, and Messrs.
Humphrey and Silsby taking the solo
parts wherever they occurred. Mr..
Nelson presided at the organ with his
usual skill contributing much to the
success and interest of the service
which was every way successful.

The Coal Business.

The Coal Business.
The Railroad commissioners have
decided that st. Johnsbury and terri
tory along the line of the Lake road
belongs to the Burlington coal dealers
and hereafter local coal merchants will
have to buy at Burlington instead of
Maquam, as heretofore. This is a
trifle incOnvenient for this place as the
Burlington and LamOille road has not
facilities for handling coal and there
will probably be chronic semi-fam
inc, enough so at least to keep up the
price of coal. Another effect will be
to take away the principal business
from Maquam.
Coal was advanced on the 18th
and is about rs cents a ton higher
here now than a year ago. At this
time last year a good portion of the
winters supply was laid in but hardly
any has been delivered thus far. What
with advanced rates by the coal COM
-binations, slight advances on lake
rates, scarcity of cars, etc., the dealers
prophesy continued high rates, while
customers think they can make dol
lar by withholding their orders.
